Linda Masters: Scared of making pie? Try a galette

A galette, such as this Peach Galette, is a free-form pie.

If making pastry isn't for you, I have the perfect answer: Try a galette - easy to make, easy to slice and easy to eat.

What is a galette? It is a type of French pastry that is made with a rich, flaky crust, and traditionally served at Epiphany, Jan. 6. Orignally made of puff pastry, galettes have morphed into more of a free-form pie or rustic tart that can be either sweet or savory.

My friend Carol loves to make galettes bcause it is so easy

Use your favorite pastry recipe, one of the pastry recipes in today's Food & Dining section or use refrigerated pastry dough if you don't want to venture into pastry making.

Place filling or fruit in the center of the pastry and simply fold over the edges in a rustic fashion.
